Unpacking Innovative Work Behavior: A Descriptive Analysis of Workplace Innovation Practices

This study aims to explore and describe innovative work behavior in employees. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach involving 146 employees as participants. Innovative work behavior was measured using a scale developed by De Jong and Den Hartog (2010), which consists of four main aspects: idea exploration, idea generation, idea defense, and idea implementation. The analysis showed that the majority of participants (72.6%) were in the high innovative work behavior category. This finding reflects employees' active involvement in generating new ideas, improving work processes, and contributing to organizational performance and competitiveness. In addition, participants were dominated by generation Y (64.4%), with 5-15 years of service (55.5%) and the majority were male (69.9%). These findings confirm the importance of supporting innovative behavior in the work environment as a strategic effort in encouraging sustainable innovation in organizations.
